President Maia Sandu delivered a speech on the Great National Assembly Square during the inauguration of the European Campus. Her speech reflected the importance of today for Moldova and the whole world.
Sandu said that on May 8, 1945, the victory over Nazism was declared, putting an end to the bloody war. Then, May 9, 1945 became the first day of peace in Europe, symbolizing the hope for a long-awaited peace.

The President emphasized that peace and victory were achieved thanks to the joint efforts of the allied countries and the national resistance of each country.
She also voiced hope for Moldova’s future within the European Union, expressing confidence that this will open new prospects for the country’s citizens and will ensure a peaceful and secure future for them.
Sandu stressed the advantages of the European integration, confident that joining the EU by 2030 will be the key to the country’s prosperity.
